In The Arena
In The Arena: A Memoir of Victory, Defeat, and Renewal | Richard Nixon
1 post | 2 read
"Eloquent of the man and . . . of the history he made." —The New York Times In the Arena is the most personal, profound, and revealing memoir ever written by a major political figure. It is Richard Nixon's frankest, most outspoken book—which includes the inside story of his resignation from the Presidency and its aftermath. President Nixon's previous books have brilliantly chronicled his public career and examined America's strategic role in the world. Now, for the first time, he shares his private thoughts and feelings on his long career, other great leaders at home and abroad, his own family, the state of the world, the arts of politics and diplomacy, and much more—expanding on his 1978 Memoirs and documenting his role as America's Elder Statesman. It's a personal statement by one of the most important and influential figures in American history.

It is amazing what finishing a book you don't like will do to your mood. I did not like this book, it seemed like he was venting all his frustrations and anger. There were a few paragraphs of insightful things, but there were also many paragraphs of name dropping (i.e., these are all the people that called me after I was in the hospital, followed by two literal paragraphs of names). Would not recommend unless you are a HUGE Nixon fan. 📷Baltimore
